A highly selective method for the asymmetric formation of trifluoromethyl-substituted α- and β-aminophos- phonates was described. The reaction proceeded with high yields and good to excellent diastereoselectivity. The product can be easily converted into corresponding trifluoromethyl-substituted aminophosphoric acids.
An efficient and cost-effective method for the preparation of fluorinated conjugated enynes was described, tile method was compatible with a variety of functional groups such as chloride, amine, cyano and ester group. The method could also be extended to the coupling of (R,Z)-3-(2-chloro-1,2-difluorovinyl)-4-alkyloxazolidin-2-one (3) with moderate yields.
